Rather, it is an 'extension' of Half-Life and, as such, requires that you have the original Half-Life.įrom Gearbox Software comes the first official expansion pack for the undisputed Game of the Year '98 - Half-Life: Opposing Force. While the game offers a new episode, it is not a sequel to Half-Life. Half-Life: Opposing Force offers new weapons, both military and alien, new levels, new enemies and a new multi-player experience. Left stranded, dazed and confused, you'll need to work with those you were sent in to 'contain.' A few squads of military personnel are still alive within the complex as well and you'll need their help to escape alive.
However, before you are given your orders, something goes horribly wrong and your whole platoon is killed. Your mission? Silence Gordon Freeman and his fellow scientists.
In Half-Life: Opposing Force, you play the other side: Cpl.
In Half-Life, you were Gordon Freeman, a scientist struggling to escape the horrific facility. An entirely new episode for the Half-Life series, Half-Life: Opposing Force returns you to the Black Mesa Research Facility, where an experiment has gone completely wrong.
